Trotsky should be informed.

- Trotsky does not understand!

We do.

All the officers on your list

are here,

as you requested, Koba!

Why? What's the reason?

Because I fought for you, bastards!

This barge was not sunk, Klim.

Be very careful.

They'll all be lost.

Be very, very careful.

"24 former Tsarist officers

suspected of treason

have drowned...

Unfortunate accident.

Replacing them with reliable elements. "

No, that's murder!

Murder, murder...

He says - an accident.

The officers were being held

on a barge, and the barge sank.

And who put them on the barge?

Irreplaceable professional officers...

And who killed them?

Stalin!

I demand his immediate recall!

Stalin is a trusted comrade.

Replace him, or I resign.

With Trotsky or Stalin.

Trotsky or Stalin?

You don't understand -

it must be Trotsky AND Stalin.

We need you BOTH!

Trotsky never forgave my father.

They avoided each other. Even when

living in the Kremlin apartments

with the rest of the party leaders.

bThe Kremlin

April 1919/b

It was there

my parents celebrated their wedding.

Look! You're still so young!

You were younger than me

when you ran away with papa.

So I was but you should've seen

your papa:

He was so handsome!

An idealistic young revolutionary.

Exactly like Koba.

No, Koba's not like your papa.

You think he's too old?

He's a Georgian. I know Georgian men.

But you?!

I know:
you don't approve.

But I want to be with him.

Feel happy for me.

For us.

Nadya, Nadya. Nadenka.

Koba is... here looking for you.

She isn't that far away!

Joy, eternal joy!

So mashed, though.

Our revolution is so young

you both triumph.

Nikolai, always an optimist.

- Yes, yes!

An inclination to look on the brite

side of things...

somethig you want I share.

French champagne,

liberated from prince Volkonsky cell.

Nikolai, you do the honors!

- Gregory Zinoviev.

Nadya.

- Grisha.

Unfortunately we couldn't liberate

Volkonsky's crystal...

Smashed!

To life!

- To life!

Where're you going?

- Trotsky...

Kamenev and Zinoviev

were intellectuals.

My father didn't have their education

or their manners.

They looked down on him

and he knew it.

They were on Trotsky's side.

Trotsky was the son

of a prosperous land owner

who'd enjoyed all the

privileges of wealth

and was looked upon

by many as Lenin's era -

apparent.

French novel?

There's a better story

in Bucharin's apartment.

"The mountaineer" and Nadya Alliluyeva

have got married.

How was it you weren't invited?

Anything else?

- No.

Go right into the secretariat.

Just the same,

you come to work tomorrow.

The revolution demands it!

She'll be there. But not early.
